Why a Booktrail?
2000s: In Lindö, on the Swedish coast, a man has been found brutally murdered in his own home.
Marked For Life (Jana Berzelius 1)
What you need to know before your trail
Public prosecutor Jana Berzelius steps in to lead the investigation. Young and brilliant but emotionally cold, Berzelius, like her famous prosecutor father, won’t be swayed by the hysterical widow or intimidated by the threatening letters the victim had tried to hide.
A few days later on a nearby deserted shoreline, the body of a young boy is discovered, and with him, the murder weapon that killed him and the original victim. Berzelius is drawn more deeply into the case for as she attends his autopsy, she recognizes something strangely familiar in his small, scarred, heroin-riddled body. Cut deep into his flesh are initials that scream child trafficking and trigger in her a flash of memory of her own dark, fear-ridden past. Her connection to this boy has been carved with deliberation and malice that penetrate to her very core.

Norrköping
Norrköping is a city in Östergötland in eastern Sweden about 160 km southwest of the national capital Stockholm.
The city is situated by the mouth of the river Motala ström, at Bråviken, an inlet of the Baltic Sea. Due to this water being an effective power source, the city is often referred to as the Swedish Manchester
The city has also got medieval history which is apt given the dig for the truth that goes on in the Emelie Schepp novels.
In the present day, the Elite Grand Hotel and the Bishop’s Arms pub are regular features in the book.Most of the locations are real but have been tweaked sometimes to fit the plot.
And one more unusual fact that makes Norrköping stand out – the city is one of two Swedish cities (the other being Gothenburg) that retained its tram system after the 1967 conversion to right-hand drive!
